precisely determined. The line idles in a spacing (logic "0") condition. A logic "0" is defined as no line
activity and a logic "1" is defined as a negative pulse of 50nS duration. A transmission starts with an
ALERT BURST consisting of 6 unit intervals of mark (logic "1"). Eight bit data characters are then sent,
with each character preceded by 2 unit intervals of mark and one unit interval of space. Five types of
transmission can be performed as described below:
4.6.1 Invitations To Transmit
An Invitation To Transmit is used to pass the token from one node to another and is sent by the following
sequence:
ƒ An ALERT BURST
ƒ An EOT (End Of Transmission: ASCII code 04H)
ƒ Two (repeated) DID (Destination ID) characters
ALERT BURST
EOT
DID
DID
4.6.2 Free Buffer Enquiries
A Free Buffer Enquiry is used to ask another node if it is able to accept a packet of data. It is sent by the
following sequence:
ƒ An ALERT BURST
ƒ An ENQ (ENQuiry: ASCII code 85H)
ƒ Two (repeated) DID (Destination ID) characters
ALERT BURST
ENQ
DID
DID
4.6.3 Data Packets
A Data Packet consists of the actual data being sent to another node. It is sent by the following sequence:
ƒ An ALERT BURST
ƒ An SOH (Start Of Header--ASCII code 01H)
ƒ An SID (Source ID) character
ƒ Two (repeated) DID (Destination ID) characters
ƒ A single COUNT character which is the 2's complement of the number of data bytes to follow if a short
packet is sent, or 00H followed by a COUNT character if a long packet is sent.
ƒ N data bytes where COUNT = 256-N (or 512-N for a long packet)
ƒ Two CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) characters. The CRC polynomial used is: X16 + X15 + X2 + 1.
